Miles Davis - Complete Jack Johnson Sessions D1~5-2003 [EAC - FLAC] (oan) By Rod Sibley The Complete Jack Johnson Sessions, Columbia's latest addition to the Miles Davis reissue series, documents the period from January 27, 1970 to June 4, 1970 and contains unedited takes from the sessions plus previously unreleased material. A bit of background: Jack Johnson was the world heavyweight boxing champion from 1908-1915. Miles felt an affinity toward Johnson; not only because Miles himself boxed, but because of the racial issues of being a Black man in America both men faced. Director William Clayton made a documentary movie about Johnson's life. A Tribute To Jack Johnson is the soundtrack to the film. The album was released in the summer of 1971. A Tribute To Jack Johnson was a continuation of Miles' musical direction away from more traditional jazz forms. The densely layered music of Bitches Brew, recorded in August of 1969, was stripped down and became funkier and more groove oriented. The music also incorporated more elements of rock with the guitar work of John McLaughlin. For listeners whose only Miles Davis recording is Kind Of Blue and want to hear some "electric Miles," The Complete Jack Johnson Sessions may be the starting point to work your way backward, as well as forward, through the Miles Davis catalog. Disc One: February-March 1970 Disc One begins with five takes of the song "Willie Nelson," which was released on the Directions album. The song is named after the country singer. Miles loved Willie's singing; he thought that his behind-the-beat phrasing resembled the way that he played trumpet. Although the various takes of "Willie Nelson" have differences in tempo and the amount of time Miles and the other soloists play, the real evolution of the piece is shown in Jack DeJohnette's drumming. He continuously increases the complexity of his patterns. What started out as simple timekeeping on the early takes later becomes highly syncopated and intensely propulsive with constant rhythmic variations. The unedited takes also reveal guitarist Sonny Sharrock's presence on the sessions. His appearance along with John McLaughlin marks the first time that Miles used two guitar players. Pianist Chick Corea uses an Echoplex (a tape driven delay) on his electric piano, and Sharrock uses one on his guitar as well. At times it is difficult to distinguish between the two of them. This may have factored in Sharrockâ€™s playing on the track being questioned at one time. Along with Jack Johnson, the box set contains a series of tracks that are named after other boxers. The first is "Johnny Bratton." The first take has shades of the Lifetime version of McLaughlin's "One Word" (from Turn It Over ), in part due to McLaughlin's chord voicings and DeJohnette sounding [a little] like Tony Williams. The second take sounds like a band of teenagers practicing in the basement on Saturday morning. Miles at the end of the take says, "I couldn't even play on that deal." The third take has a slower tempo and a funkier feel, which gives Miles something to sink his teeth into. However, the repetitive pattern starts to wear after awhile. The last track, named after boxer Archie Moore, is an unexpected surprise featuring John McLaughlin playing a straight-up blues! McLaughlin may play bluesy sometimes, but it's rare that you hear him play like this. The take has no horns: just guitar, bass, and drums. John is on this one like white on rice. This is a real treat for McLaughlin fans!
